The most important thing I've learned in IM...
For years I tried to do everything myself, working round the clock 7 days a week writing articles, backlinking, blog posting, profiling, bookmarking and all the other countless techniques we have at our disposal. Progress was slow and it seemed like I was just spinning my wheels most of the time.
Worse even... I constantly felt like I was sliding backwards. WSOs were stacking up in my folder. I'd get excited reading about the latest RSS techniques but I was still only halfway through October's backlink list (and it was March for crying out loud!). Something had to give...
Recently I've discovered some great services, mostly available from other IMers right here in the WF. This has allowed me to cut my promotion efforts by 95% and concentrate on what I'm good at: content creation and design.
Never again will I spend hours on end registering and filling out site profiles. One of our esteemed warriors is now offering a great WSO for this very same purpose. Of course it's automated... doing this manually is absolutely soul-killing. Nobody should have to do it.
Naturally I was nervous the first month or so after I let go of the reins. But I needn't have been. Even though I'm no longer doing my own promotion, my main site just went up a notch in page rank and my SERPs and traffic are better than ever.
You know what? Now I don't care about the latest SEO tricks. I've got professionals with automation at their disposal handling all that.
Of course this doesn't come for free... but prices are more than reasonable and the time it frees up is priceless. It's an investment... the more I pay in, the more profit I get out.
Newbies, I realize you're in a tough spot. Unless you've got good funding you have to make some money before you can invest. Also, it's good to be hands on for as long as you can stand it because it teaches you so much. You have to get the big picture.
But as soon as you start making some money reinvest it in professional services. As your income goes up so should your support network. You can't do it alone. If ever there was a "guru" secret, this is it!
